TOOLS GUIDE

How to choose an edge trimmer?

An edge trimmer cuts lawn edges along paths and around flower beds. Electric (mains/battery) for lightness, petrol for power and runtime.

QUICK ANSWER

	Small gardens / frequent finishing → battery electric (light, manoeuvrable, quiet).
	Larger areas / dense vegetation → petrol (more torque and runtime).
	Line: round = versatile; square = more aggressive for tall grass / clean edges.

PETROL VS ELECTRIC

Petrol

POWERFUL · CORDLESS

≈ 700–1000 W equivalent, intensive use. Noisier and heavier; engine maintenance (fuel mix, filters, spark plug).

Electric (mains/battery)

LIGHT · QUIET

≈ 300–1000 W, light to intermediate jobs. Limited maintenance; mains (cord) or battery (Ah).

EDGE TRIMMER VS BRUSHCUTTER

Brushcutter

More powerful and heavier: brush, thickets, dense vegetation.

Edge trimmer

Lighter and more precise: finishing along edges, paths and flower beds.

CHOOSING YOUR CUTTING LINE

Round line

Versatile, flexible, fewer tangles; tall grass, corners, edges.

Square line

Sharper edges, clean chopping; tough grass and small brush.

SAFETY AND PPE

	Gear up: boots, glasses or visor, hearing protection.
	Work with both hands and check the area (gravel, obstacles).
	Cut the power / remove the battery before any work on the cutting head.
